"Drive it like you stole it" below the back windshield. Wasilla garners a whole new catagory for cool cars, trucks and all the gear. Snapped this pic at the stoplight on the Parks Hwy & Main Street. To the right crosses the Alaska Railroad tracks onto Knik-Goose Bay Road. I will have to venture out that way sometime. Come along for the ride.

Finger Lake is off of Bogard Road in Wassila. Stopped by there today on my way back from a job to reminess the time years ago I fell into Finger Lake. It was early spring and there was still ice floating around. I was on a little blow up raft that had a big leak and there was water on the bottom so I sat on the edge to not get my butt wet. I was tied off to some friends in a canoe and we were heading to the island in the middle of the lake to bbq. A little wave and a little wind tipped me over backwards into the cold lake. Luckily, a friend in the canoe, held the raft upright when I came shooting up out of the water and I knew how to swim to shore. So much for not getting my butt wet at Finger Lake.

I made Acorn Squash tonight the way my mom likes to make it. Baked with sausage in the middle. A good meal in itself.

My roommate's son made himself a Dagwood sandwich instead. If you haven't tried Oroweats Winter Wheat bread it is really good. Small sized loaf so the "soon to be a Marine" made his a triple decker. With Wasabi Horseradish. He's tough.

Scammed me good. The studio apartment I rented from them turned out to be the apartment they were renting and were behind on their rent. Patrick Dean took my first months rent and deposit, gave me the key and skipped out. Janssen Barnes stood by meekly while her con artist boyfriend took on the persona of the actual owner. Who was out of town helping a friend put on a roof. I realized I'd been scammed a couple hours after I'd cleaned the place and was moving in when my first visitor arrived. Another gal ready to move in. Turns out Patrick Dean and Janssen Barnes scammed 2 other people besides me and the owner.

Just putting this out there so nobody else gets scammed by these two scumbags.
